November 1849. Charles Dickens, the famous author, turns detective. He and Superintendent Jones of Bow Street must find the man who cut the throat of Patience Brooke, assistant matron at Dickens's Home for Fallen Women - a man who sings as he kills.

When a little girl is found dead and another girl disappears from the home, Dickens is forced to face deeply buried secrets from his own past.
